Top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway claimed that she believes there could be members of the executive branch hired under the previous administration who are undermining President Trump.

Trump took office more than three years ago, but Conway said his impeachment shows that several people put into power by President Barack Obama have sharp disagreements with the current president. During a Wednesday interview on Fox News, Conway revealed that she believes some Democratic-appointed officials are still opposed to working for Trump.

“People talk about the deep state, I talk about the shallow state. It doesn’t have to be that deep, and you don’t have to be here that long, but if you’re working cross-purposes to the president’s agenda,” Conway began.

Host Laura Ingraham then asked Conway if she felt confident that most of the members of the executive branch who had ill-will toward Trump were out of the administration.

“I’m not confident,” Conway replied. “I’ve expressed that many times to many people, I am confident about that. And I am confident about one thing: MAGA-world has a point when they say there are so many of us who would love to serve in this administration and never got a chance. So I think that is a question for personnel and, frankly, for transition.”

Several people who were appointed under previous administrations have been involved in the impeachment process, including former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, whom Trump eventually removed from her post. The alleged whistleblower Eric Ciaramella, whose complaint sparked the proceedings, also worked under Obama.

However, Trump-appointed officials were also involved in the proceedings, including U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who testified in the House’s impeachment hearings.

Conway, 53, is a counselor to the president in the White House. She has been with Trump since leading his campaign in 2016, despite his turbulent record with personnel.
